According to a news release, the company’s home care and hospice division, which has been identified as a growth area for the company, acquired three home care agencies last year. Combined, those firms had 50 locations in three markets.

The Kindred at Home home care and hospice division now consists of 101 sites, serving 69 communities or metropolitan areas in 10 states, the release said.
